Losi LMT GPM Steering linkage and Spektrum S614S servo broke
After breaking the standard steering linkage i bough this GPM steering linkage, the supplied bolt was not very strong and has sheared off after only 2 runs. I was able to repair it in the field using some stainless steel bolts i have as spares, but i have now replaced it with a stronger high grade steel bolt. The bolt is only M3 size and is really not big enough for the amount of stress its put under. It would have been better to use and M4 bolt or even 2 M4 bolts. I would not recommend buying this as an upgrade.
The servo is missing some teeth, also after the same session. I could hear it crunching a bit but i manage to make it last until the end. The shaft on the centre gears has snapped in 2. This is poor quality. Considering the servo saver is not hugely strong its quite disappointing for the servo to break like this. I am considering replacing it with a full aluminium case brushless servo around the 30-35KG range. Although i haven't decided what to go for yet. I would like to replace the gears and shaft in this one and sell it, but i cant find the replacement parts for it. Please put any new servo recommendations below. I would like one with strong steel gears, full metal case and preferably brushless motor. ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWvkG9Ud62k
I have had this Truggy for 5 years now. It has been a great rc. Is it time to move it on? Has Arrma designed a truggy which is a worthy replacement?

In this video i finally managed to get some kind of tuning done with the Hobao Hyper MT Nitro. I have changed out the exhaust gasket as well as the clutch.
I went for the Reds Racing V3 Tetra Clutch with 4 aluminium clutch shoes. Its the 32mm aluminium flywheel version. This has made the truck much more responsive at the lower rpm range and it seems to accelerate much faster.
At the end of the last tank the engine had reached 101c/213f with the body on.

I got another Nitro MT with a Nosram .18 engine.

Hyper MT has been down for a while now, the drive shafts have still not been revised or fixed which is disappointing.
The Tekno is almost complete, but the wheels and tyres are taking forever to arrive.
The SMT10 will be going soon as i have ordered the Losi LMT! Super excited.
